Abstract
The darknet terminology is not used consistently among scientific research papers. This can lead to difficulties in regards to the applicability and the significance of the results and also facilitates misinterpretation of them. As a consequence, comparisons of the different works are complicated.
In this paper, we conduct a review of previous darknet research papers in order to elaborate the distribution of the inconsistent usage of the darknet terminology. Overall, inconsistencies in darknet terminology in 63 out of 97 papers were observed. The most common statement indicated that the dark web is a part of the deep web. 19 papers equate the terms darknet and dark web. Others do not distinguish between dark web and deep web, or between deep web and darknet.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Cyber Security and Mobility is an international, open-access, peer reviewed journal publishing original research, review/survey, and tutorial papers on all cyber security fields including information, computer & network security, cryptography, digital forensics etc. but also interdisciplinary articles that cover privacy, ethical, legal, economical aspects of cyber security or emerging solutions drawn from other branches of science, for example, nature-inspired. The journal aims at becoming an international source of innovation and an essential reading for IT security professionals around the world by providing an in-depth and holistic view on all security spectrum and solutions ranging from practical to theoretical. Its goal is to bring together researchers and practitioners dealing with the diverse fields of cybersecurity and to cover topics that are equally valuable for professionals as well as for those new in the field from all sectors industry, commerce and academia. This journal covers diverse security issues in cyber space and solutions thereof. As cyber space has moved towards the wireless/mobile world, issues in wireless/mobile communications and those involving mobility aspects will also be published.
